The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the lingerie that inspired this was 'popcorn'. To me, the white ruffles tinged with brown thread looked like popcorn with their insides peaking out.

To make this little bloomer and tank top I used a very soft white knit material. Rather than hem the edges, I finished it by encasing them with a zig zag stitch in brown thread. This created the ruffled edges.

It was a little small on Molly so I would say it should fit a 6-12 month old. PLUS, if you leave a comment I will include the matching brown ribbon baretts, see below.

Oh and don't worry all you moms out there. I didn't let her eat any of the popcorn pieces. Surprisingly, it wasn't hard to stop her. She had no interest in them other than crushing the fragile kernels between her fingers. It's about the only thing she isn't interested in putting in her mouth.

Last day for posts is Sunday 8/3/08. Winnerwill be announced Tuesday morning!

As usual, if you would like a chance to win this bloomer and blouse just link back to this post. If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link to the right. If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.I just wanted to add that even if I don't get to change the graphics on the buttons to the right, I try to have new content everyday excluding most weekends. Sometimes, things get pretty hectic around here and I don't always get the extra hour on the computer that I need to change the pics on the buttons. But please keep checking them out to see what's new!

Per usual, lovely. Lucky for me, I have a 2.5 year old AND a 3 month old!!! So the sizes you make are poifect. :0) Not like I'll be lucky enough to win, but one can dream! Until then, I'll keep my fingers you will open a shop, and I can buy a train dress from you. Sigh.

So cute! My little girl is too big to enjoy that outfit but I would love to win it for my little niece to be. I am sure she would look too cute in it. I have also added you as a link from my blog... my family and friends love looking at your stuff. Keep 'em coming!

an outfit for my little lady! I'm so excited you sewed an outfit for 6-12 month olds! those ruffles would look so cute on my sweetie (who is not so sweetly wailing at this moment)! I've linked it to my blog (fromshellysbelly dot blogspot dot com).

Oh please stop the madness of it all! If I don't win one of these darling outfits I just may cry. All kidding aside you have such a talent. Please open a boutique. I will work for you in exchange for clothes for my two little girls. Have a great week!

YAAAAAY!! Finally one I don't have to put in storage! This would fit my midget RIGHT now, so it must be fate! I don't think my post worked-- www. cblwolf . blogspot . com, obviously without the spaces.

Please put me in the hat! I love the outfit! Looks like it would fit my daughter perfectly right now! And I would love a tutorial. What kind of fabric did you use?aubreypettit.blogspot.com I've chaged your website to a side link, does this still work?

So my baby's name is MOLLY too and she is the perfect size...9 months! She would look soooo dang cute in this little outfit!! I would love a tutorial of this too, like the others :) I've put a link on the side of my blog...pendletonfam.blogspot.com

The baby in this picture is so sweet. I'm Jen, and I have a beautiful little girl, who I think would look adorable in this little outfit. She is my third little girl and for the most part just gets hand me downs. It would be nice to have something that was All her own.
